[drugs] what does LSD feel like?

For me it was a transformative experience that changed the trajectory of my life. Its effects are beyond comparison and even after experiencing it, it's pretty much impossible to put into words.

If you're able to accept the dissolution of your ego, it can be the most freeing and reconciling mental state of your life.

I mean the transfer from your head to the ground is completely obfuscated to third parties. The weak point is public visibility after the message has been delivered.

Gen Z: Wächst der politische Graben zwischen jungen Menschen?

Reply in thread

Du hast da schon gewissermaßen einen Punkt, dass das, gelinde gesagt, schwierige Frauenbild im Islam (wie auch in so gut wie jeder anderen Religion) nicht eines der Hauptthemen linker, feministischer Debatten ist. Allerdings wird dies auch häufig im linken Diskurs kritisch hinterfragt, z.B.:

https://taz.de/Kritik-an-Islamismus/!5700251/ https://taz.de/Kritische-Theorie-gegen-Islamogauchisme/!6154515/

Du wirst von keiner Feministin hören, dass das so "in Ordnung" ist. So eine Aussage würde ich irgendwo zwischen Strohmann-Argument und Whataboutism verorten. Einer der Gründe, warum sich viele davor hüten, sich auf diese Debatte einzulassen, ist, dass sie oft als Feigenblatt für islamfeindliche Einstellungen missbraucht wird. Und komischerweise eher von Leuten vorgebracht wird, die vom Feminismus ohnehin nicht viel halten.

Edit: "Den Islam" gibt es natürlich nicht, weil er so unterschiedlich gelebt wird. z.B. von feministischen muslimischen Frauen.

The Embodiment of America

Reply in thread

Yeah, that part didn't sit well with me either. How does refusing to throw away your life for a nation state's interest and to being instrumentalized to harm and kill others constitute cowardice?

Starting a war when you yourself dodged the draft is definitely evidence of hypocrisy, moral bankruptcy and just pathetic.

But people refusing to be pawns in some belligerent leaders wargame is far from cowardice.

Sure, he just wanted to save his skin (Which is not cowardly either, in my opinion).

However, the OP said "the cowardice of a draft dodger" which reads like a generalized statement. Also all other listed groups are reprehensible, putting draft dodgers in there is just weird.

Edit: I'm cool with bar stool drunks as long as they don't spew evil bullshit, to be clear

German lawyers: Ban on far-right AfD 'likely successful'

Reply in thread

There are currently thousands of Christmas markets held in Germany every year (at least 3250, up to 7000). The rumors of the tradition dying out due to migration/terrorist attacks that were spread by right wing media don't hold any water. They're not going anywhere.

Offenbach am Main, which is the city with the highest share of immigrants in Germany (65%), holds a Christmas market every year. It is one of the markets with the longest duration in Hesse (November 17 - December 29 in 2025).

The attacker in Magdeburg was a mentally ill man, motivated by far right extremism. He claimed to be 'the most aggressive critic of Islam in history' and was a staunch proponent of the AfD.

You're asking me to suppose things about migrants and their effect on society and derive xenophobic viewpoints from that. But those are just made up scenarios based on preconceived notions. As made clear by the example you chose to illustrate your point, there's not much substance to your claims in my opinion.
